Commentary Magazine Podcast

Today's podcast offers reflections on D-Day, on whether Joe Biden has gotten himself into trouble on abortion, and what's wrong with upper middle class parents. Give a listen.

On the podcast: Did Bernie Sanders launch the first serious salvo at Joe Biden this weekend by saying Democrats would need enthusiasm to beat Donald Trump—thus implicitly attacking Biden's calm and pacific demeanor as the frontrunner? And are the rules of the Democratic primaries now being slowly moved to help Biden win early? Give a listen.

On today's podcast, we argue (really!) about what Bob Mueller was saying in his statement yesterday, about what exoneration means, about what obstruction of justice is, and about all kinds of things. Also, what happened in the Israeli elections, and how can Biden be stopped. Give a listen.

The COMMENTARY podcast on the left’s anxiety over the effort to limit climate change models from projecting the effect of CO2 emissions 100 years out to just 40 years and the success of the pro-Brexit party in European Parliament elections.

Does Donald Trump want to invite impeachment? If so, will Democrats take the bait? Also, the Justin Amash boomlet and the likely end of Theresa May’s tenure as British prime minister.

Who will benefit politically from a massive fight on abortion? And who won the Game of Thrones? You'll never guess. Give a listen to today's podcast.

What is Bill de Blasio doing running for president? Why are the Iranians blowing holes in Saudi tankers and why are people acting like it's crazy we want to stop them? And why is Alabama passing extreme legislation against abortion? Today's podcast asks these questions and kinda answers them somewhat. Give a listen.

Today's podcast features an effort to parse just what it was Rep. Rashida Tlaib was trying to say in a bizarre interview about Palestinians and Jews that has once again opened up the question of why there is an anti-Semitism explosion and why the mainstream media and Democrats are refusing to confront it. Also, we discuss Game of Thrones and Alyssa Milano's proposed sex strike, so it's a packed podcast. Give a listen.

On today's podcast, we assess the cleverness or stupidity of the Trump administration's decision to refuse cooperation with Congressional subpoenas, and its confrontational posture toward Iran, Venezuela, and China. Give a listen.

On today's podcast we take up the Gazan assault on Israel with 600 rockets, the ceasefire that followed, and the despicable media moral equivalency drawn between the attackers and the attacked. And then we talk about whether Democratic craziness is inspiring Republican enthusiasm. Give a listen.

The Commentary podcast debates the Democrat-peddled notion that William Barr committed criminal offenses by misleading Congress and mischaracterizing the tone, if not the substance, of the Mueller report. Also, the apparently failed effort to out the Maduro regime in Venezuela.

The COMMENTARY podcast on the violent attack on the Chabad of Poway synagogue and the anti-Semitic tropes published in the international version of the New York Times.

The Commentary podcast explores companion studies on the hopelessly unrepresentative nature of Twitter and its inexplicably disproportionate influence over American political discourse. As Joe Biden enters the race as something of the anti-Twitter candidate, can he appeal to the middle without alienating the Twitterati left?

On today's podcast, why liberals can't let the Mueller probe go and why Trump fans wrongly think the report is good for him, and why, in spite of everything, we still need a meritocracy. Give a listen.

On today's podcast, we sift through the Mueller report and find that while it ends the Russia-puppet storyline, it is considerably more problematic for Trump when it comes to obstruction—even though any obstruction would have been without an underlying crime. And we discuss the horrid takes on the burning of Notre Dame. Give a listen.
